Women of Raby Tour - Raby Castle, Park and Gardens

About

This exclusive event at Raby Castle highlights stories of some of the fascinating women who once walked our halls. From the familiar history of Cecily Neville, known as the ‘Rose of Raby’, to the lesser-known experiences of the women who worked in the household, this surprising tour will put working women, botanists, artists, and court influencers under the spotlight. The tour will also explore how women are depicted in some of the most iconic artworks in the castle collection. Join our Senior Guides for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into rooms beyond the public route and gain an insight into these historic women who have shaped Raby’s future today.
